Trump appointed 3 Supreme Court Judge's and numerous other Judge's around different court's. Trump knew exactly why he was putting these Judge's and what he was planning.

It is criminal. Parties to January 6th cases have already been damaged by Alito and Thomas refusing to recuse themselves. Those parties do not get a "second chance" at justice. We the People were damaged by both intentional ethics and criminal violations.

Justices are entitled to have thoughts and opinions. That has nothing to do with ethics or them being impartial within their roles as judges. What are you asking of Alito? Are you asking him to not be a human being? All of the other justices have thoughts and opinions on all of these matters. Stop with these cheap tactics and attacks.

[@swimminginthoughts]

We want him to be a leftist. It's very simple!

[@reason6835]

Exactly. Apparently only liberal justices are allowed to have political opinions. Only liberal Justices are capable of setting their personal opinions aside during a case in order to remain impartial. These people are ridiculous. Everyone knows it’s more about THEM not wanting conservative justices on the bench because they don’t like how they rule.

[@reason6835]

Apparently only liberal justices are allowed to have personal opinions. Only liberal justices are capable of setting their personal opinions aside while hearing a case. Therefore only liberal justices can remain impartial.

[@firestarter8202]

If you don’t like Justice Alito‘s flags, you can do precisely what you’re doing. You can talk about it, you can put him down, etc., But he is an American citizen and has a right to speech in this matter on his property. You cannot remove him from office for this. That would be a sanction on his first amendment right. That would be patently unconstitutional by definition. Have a nice day.
